Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new and improved construction of an attachment arrangement for securing an upstanding body or member to a ski, wherein an elastic intermediate layer is provided between a substantially plate-shaped base portion of the upstanding body and a substantially equal size attachment plate, and at least one projection extends upwardly of the attachment plate to establish a releasable connection between the attachment plate and the upstanding body.
  • Another and more specific object of the present invention aims at the provision of an attachment arrangement of the previously mentioned type wherein there can be simplified the connection of the upstanding body with the attachment plate and also its release, while obviating the need for the aforementioned locking element.
  • the attachment arrangement of this development is manifested by the features that at least one of the surfaces of the elastic intermediate layer possesses a sliding surface, so that the upstanding body can be shifted or rotated into a locking position with respect to the attachment plate, in which position a part of the base portion of the upstanding body lockingly engages below a locking portion provided at the head or top of the projection.
  • the sliding surface can be constructed such that at the, for instance, porous, rubber-like, elastic intermediate layer there can be bonded a foil formed of a material having good sliding properties.
  • a respective projection is provided at the central portion of oppositely situated edges of the attachment plate. Due to the arrangement of the projections at the aforementioned central portion of the edges of the attachment plate there can be realized the principle described in the aforementioned German patent publication No. 2,328,084, resulting in a favorable distribution of the forces at the attachment plate and its adhesive bond with the surface of the ski.
  • the locking of part of the upstanding body beneath a locking portion at the head of a projection or each projection can be attained by the substantially hook-shaped construction of the head of each projection in that a part of the upstanding body can be brought below the hook-shaped head of the projection by compressing the elastic intermediate layer and displacing or rotating, as the case may be, the upstanding body.
  • Shifting of the upstanding body is possible due to the provision of appropriately formed slots or recesses in the plate-shaped base portion of the upstanding body.
  • a recess into which engages, after the shifting or displacement, the hook-shaped portion or part.
  • a recess there can also be used to advantage a raised portion, for instance of wedge-shape, having a shoulder, over which there can slide the hook-shaped portion until it locks behind the shoulder.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of an attachment plate according to the invention having an adhesively bonded elastic intermediate layer
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of the attachment plate of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a front view of an upstanding body
  • FIG. 4 is a horizontal sectional view of the upstanding body
  • FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of the upstanding body, taken substantially along the line III--III of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 6 is a plan view of a second exemplary embodiment of attachment plate
  • FIG. 7 is a longitudinal sectional view through the attachment plate of FIG. 6, taken substantially along the line VI--VI thereof;
  • FIG. 8 is a front view of the upstanding body which is to be secured to the attachment plate of FIGS. 6 and 7;
  • FIG. 9 is a longitudinal sectional view through the upstanding body, taken substantially along the line V--V of FIG. 8.
  • the attachment plate 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is formed for instance of sheet metal and is provided at its opposite lengthwise edges 2 and 3 with a respective substantially hook-shaped projection 4 and 5 flexed upwardly and formed of sheet metal.
  • the underside 6 of the attachment plate 1 is bonded to the top surface of a ski 7 for instance with the aid of a double-sided adhesive tape or band 8.
  • the ski 7 is assumed to travel in the direction of the arrow 9, so that the predominant impact forces to be expected in the lengthwise direction of the ski, due to the arrangement of the projections 4 and 5 at the central portion of the lengthwise edges 2 and 3, can be optimumly absorbed by the elastic intermediate layer 10.
  • This elastic intermediate layer 10 of the attachment arrangement is, for instance, adhesively bonded to the top surface 11 of the attachment plate 1, but however also could be secured to the underside 12 of the upstanding body or member 13 to be secured to the ski. What is important is that the surface of the intermediate layer 10 which initially remains free or exposed possesses a sliding surface 14, for instance formed by a foil, a thin sheet material or the like, rendering possible easy sliding introduction of the substantially plate-shaped base portion 15 of the upstanding body along the sliding surface 14 below the hook-shaped portions 16 of the projections 4 and 5.
  • the upstanding body 13 serves to prevent crossing of the skis during skiing and to render skiing in deep snow easier. Its generally trapezoidal shape with an open cross-section is known for instance from Swiss Pat. No. 526,970 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,761,106, to which reference may be readily had and the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
  • cut-outs advantageously serve for the introduction of the projections 4 and 5 of the attachment plate 1 when the upstanding body 13, for the purpose of establishing the connection, is pushed onto the attachment plate 1.
  • interengaging means comprising substantially wedge-shaped raised portions or protuberances 22 and 23 which terminate at a respective shoulder 24, behind which there can lockingly engage the hook-shaped portion 16 of each of the projections 4 and 5 after there has been completed the insertion of the upstanding body 13.
  • interengaging means comprising substantially wedge-shaped raised portions or protuberances 22 and 23 which terminate at a respective shoulder 24, behind which there can lockingly engage the hook-shaped portion 16 of each of the projections 4 and 5 after there has been completed the insertion of the upstanding body 13.
  • FIGS. 6 to 9 A further exemplary embodiment of the invention has been shown in FIGS. 6 to 9.
  • a respective projection 24' and 25 is located at the transverse edges 26 and 27 respectively, of the attachment plate 28, these transverse edges being located one behind the other in the lengthwise direction of the ski.
  • Projections 24' and 25 equally possess a substantially hook-shaped head portion 29 and 30 respectively, of which the one portion, such as the head portion 30 is horizontally flexed or bent, whereas the curvature of the other head portion of the projection 24' is continued and thus downwardly directed, as shown.
  • In order to receive these hook-shaped head portions 29 and 30 of the projections 24' and 25 there are provided at the base portion 31 of the upstanding body a recess 32 and an opening 33, as best seen by referring to FIG. 9.
